Good point - I’d still love to grab Langford or Lalor at 5, and a player like Lindsay if we can trade for another first round pick But if Langford and Lalor go before 5, and a Smith or O’Sullivan falls to us, Hynes could be a great addition in that mid fwd mould

Dude has the name of an 80s porn star Get him in 😈

Would love to get Andy to the Dees at the end of 2025, but hard to see him leaving the Dockers given how bright their future is and that he’s their captain in waiting We can dream though 🥹

Langford/Lalor and Lindsay would be the dream if we can nab another first rounder Between them Windsor and Kolt, we will have rejuvenated our younger midfield stocks in two drafts - all would have unique traits from one another too

I wonder if North would consider trading pick 2 for 5 and change if they’re targeting Trainor? I know the top five or six prospects are similarly rated but I’d love to be able to zero in on JT’s highest ranked player if possible (presuming Richmond don’t take him with 1)

I love the idea of Berry if we can grab him with a second rounder Kozzy is the only small forward on our list who can consistently hit the score board while applying elite pressure (Chandler and Spargo more high half forwards) Berry and Kozzie could absolutely cause havoc while also helping our ground ball and ball movement work Plus we may need another long term small forward if god forbid Kozzie leaves 🫣

Whateley is a great commentator - one of the best - but he’s not a reporter anymore and wouldn’t have any further insight into the situation than has been publicly reported by Morris, McClure, Ryan etc And so I find his editorialising of the situation disingenuous as he’s clearly chosen the ‘Trac side’ over the ‘MFC side’ as it makes for a better diatribe for him All that’s to say I wouldn’t be looking to Whateley for actual facts about the situation despite him trying to speak with such authority about it all

They’ll come hard for him when they’re out of finals (which won’t be long) But no way they can get him without offering McKay or TDK up at a minimum, so depends how big of a swing they’re willing to take

Yikes… coming from his management Hard not to see this happening if he’s still keen on a move come the trade period and we get a strong offer from Freo or WC

Robbo certainly knows a lot about weirdness

He’s the one I’d be after if there’s even a sniff that he’d want to return home to Victoria Offer him Trac’s contract if need be (too soon?)

He hasn’t nominated a club, but it’s been noted he grew up supporting West Coast They can get two of the three purely from a picks perspective

They have three first rounders this year and their own future first - more than enough capital to get both of them

Yikes… can’t just be another bout of homesickness if he has a particular club in mind Presuming the report is true of course…

My favourite ex player turned commentator

Josh Smilie, Jagga Smith, Harvey Langford, Sam Lalor and Luke Trainor - YOU are Melbourne Demons

Thanks @spirit of norm smith I reckon the VFL could be a great source of players for us as we look to top up, as we can’t simply bring in 6-7 eighteen year olds in the ND and expect to fill all of our list holes Geelong in particular has done a great job in recent years with their late ND, rookie and SSP picks, and I hope we’ve got our eye on a couple of mature age players who might be going under the radar at one of these clubs

I for one will welcome our return to the Sunday 1:10 slot

Praying for Langford 🙏 he just looks like a mini Bont to me

I love this kid - pls get him in Dees

Also paging @Chook in Perth again - his post gone too soon 😭

Is the McClure insinuation from his segment on Nine earlier this evening?

Jack Martin YOU are a demon

Not saying he’s going to end up at his level BUT the player who Langford most reminds me of is Bont Strong, great overhead, piercing left boot and what he lacks in pure speed he makes up for in high footy IQ You’d be happy with any of the top 5 or 6 prospects but Langford is really the standout for me
